That depends on how long it'll be til it's finished.  I know that
personally, no matter how hard I try, I never *finish* it, because I'm
always going back to tweak things.

Out of curiosity, how modular is the design?  Would it be easy to add to or
remove these features?   (In particular, I'm looking for something to
start from that's a little more developed than Melville or the
kernel-lib, but aimed at a social environment, so races, combat, and
such are not necessary).

Definitely, if only for another look at how one person thinks they
should set up a mudlib.
